Applesauce is to latkas as ketchup is to french fries — you can eat them without, but why would you? Since this ultra-simple recipe also freezes well, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor long after the candles have burned low. (via Babble)

5. Root Beer-Braised Brisket

A dish hearty enough for an army of hungry Maccabees, this root beer-infused brisket uses a slow cooker to lock in moisture. The kids will love that they’re getting soda for dinner — and you’ll love that you didn’t have to heat up the oven to make it! (via Babble)

6. Spiced Apple or Pear Doughnuts

This all-fruit interpretation of sufganiyot uses apples and pears instead of dough for a (slightly) healthier — but just as festive — take on the classic sweet. (via Babble)

7. Olive Oil Cake

With only enough oil for one night of light, the temple lamps burned for eight. There may not be anything “miraculous” about this commemorative cake, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious! (via Babble)
